據世界石油網站9月14日報道 英國石油和天然氣管理局（OGA）公布了截至2019年底的英國油氣儲量和資源，提供了對英國大陸架剩余可開采石油資源的估計。報告估計，石油當量仍在100-200億桶之間，包括已發現和未發現的石油資源。

政府的官方預測表明，在可預見的未來，隨著我們向零排放的過渡，石油和天然氣仍將是我們能源結構中重要和關鍵的部分。

管理盆地不斷下降的產量，以最大限度地提高英國石油公司的價值，對于滿足英國的能源需求以及減少對進口和相關碳足跡的依賴，仍然至關重要。英國石油天然氣管理局認為，最大限度地恢復英國剩余石油和天然氣的經濟復蘇不必與能源轉型相沖突，該行業擁有幫助英國實現凈零排放所需解決方案的技能、技術和資本。

UK projects up to 20 billion barrels of oil remain to be found offshore

The Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) has published the UK Oil and Gas Reserves and Resources as at end 2019. It provides an estimate of the UK Continental Shelf’s remaining recoverable petroleum resources. The report estimates that there remains in the range 10 to 20 billion barrels or more of oil equivalent, including discovered and undiscovered petroleum resources.

Official government forecasts suggest that oil and gas will remain an important and critical part of our energy mix for the foreseeable future, as we transition to net zero.

Managing the basin’s declining production to maximize value from the UKCS is still vital to meet our energy demands as long as they exist, as well as reducing reliance on imports and their associated carbon footprint. The OGA believes that maximizing the economic recovery of the UK’s remaining oil and gas need not be in conflict with the energy transition and that the industry has the skills, technology and capital to help unlock the solutions required to help the UK achieve net zero.
